~By Charles Kettering ~
Television has certain imperatives that CNN had the luxury of ignoring for a long period of time. CNN could take the position that the news would be the star, because in most of the programming day, they were the only all-news operation on the air.
~By Brit Hume ~
Everything is being compressed into tiny tablets. You take a little pill of news every day - 23 minutes - and that's supposed to be enough.
~By Walter Cronkite ~

~By Bob Edwards ~
Political reporters no longer get to decide what's news. The days when a minister gave briefings to a dozen lobby correspondents, and thereby dictated the next day's headlines, are over.

~By Daniel Hannan ~

~By Gordon Getty ~

~By Ruud van Nistelrooy ~

~By Thomas Jefferson ~

The law reports in newspapers contain perhaps the only real history of England that has any relation to truth.
~By Robert Baldwin Ross ~

~By Christiane Amanpour ~

~By Aaron McGruder ~

~By Thom Yorke ~

~By Gwen Ifill ~
We're going to develop - what we want to do is to provide the viewers with what they want from CNN and that is the news. So when people tune in, they'll get the latest news, but they'll also get the biggest story of the day in depth, as CNN does so well.
~By Connie Chung ~
